- warning: unable to determine IP address of 'host.satimis.com'
- error: no valid servers configured
- Fatal: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd.conf'

Hello
cent OS is system 5 based meaning red hat the start up script is
/etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd start or you can type service proftp start

Hi objuan,

Tks for your advice.

I fixed my problem by putting "host.satimis.com host" to replace "localhost.localdomain localhost" on /etc/hosts. Thereafter proftpd started.
